Automatic doors Worcester: supply, installation and repairs
Automatic sliding, swing and revolving entrances for Worcester and the Breede Valley: shopping centres, hospitals, colleges and schools, packhouses, wineries and public buildings.
Worcester is the main town of the Breede Valley, over the mountains from Cape Town, at the centre of a large wine, fruit and agricultural area. It has regional shopping centres, a provincial hospital, colleges and schools, including well-known schools for blind and deaf learners, and packhouses and cellars that run hard in the season. Summers are hot and dry and winters cold and wet. Automatic doors Worcester buildings use need to handle heat, dust and accessibility.
This page explains what drives the specification for automatic doors Worcester needs, how we support it, and what to send us for a quotation. Places named here describe the area. They are not a client list.
Accessibility comes first
Worcester has a long history of education and services for blind, deaf and disabled people. An entrance that is predictable, clearly marked and easy to use matters more here than almost anywhere.
Automatic doors Worcester schools, clinics and public buildings use are set up with gentle speeds, presence sensing that holds the door, clear manifestation and push buttons where they help. See automatic doors for disabled access and automatic door signage.
Automatic doors Worcester: what we supply, install and repair
People search for this work in different words: automatic doors Worcester, automatic sliding doors Worcester, automatic glass doors, automatic door installers, automatic door repairs Worcester or door automation. It is the same team and the same operators either way, with 24 months on the operator.
We supply and install sliding, telescopic, swing, revolving and hermetic doors, carry out repairs on any brand and service entrances on a planned cycle. Pedestrian entrances only: no garage doors, gates, roller shutters, door closers or private homes.
Packhouses, cellars and harvest
Fruit packhouses, cold stores and wine cellars run long shifts from January to April, with staff entrances, canteens and offices under heavy use and dust from the farms.
Hands-free sliding doors with brush seals suit staff entrances. We automate pedestrian entrances only; cold-store and loading doors stay with the appropriate trade.
Hot summers
Breede Valley summers are hot, and west-facing glass and sensors heat up in the afternoon. Air-conditioned lobbies lose cool air every time the door stands open.
Canopies, solar-control glass, short hold-open times and half-open mode on the MC-125 help. See automatic door glass.
Hospitals and clinics
The provincial hospital and clinics serve the whole valley. Entrances need hands-free activation, wide openings and battery backup.
Retail and colleges
Shopping centres and colleges in Worcester serve the whole valley. Malls get bi-parting sliding doors; colleges get wide sliding doors at main entrances and swing doors inside.
Harvest from January to April
Packhouses and cellars run at full stretch from January to April. A check in December, before the season starts, means staff entrances are ready for the busiest months.
Winter rain
Cape winters bring rain into the Breede Valley, with wet floors and floor guides on exposed entrances. Canopies, entrance matting and thresholds that drain help.
See automatic door track.
The systems we install in Worcester
Most automatic doors Worcester buildings need come down to two operators, both imported and assembled at Laser Park and tested to one million operating cycles: the MC-125 sliding door operator, supplied from R27 590 excluding VAT, and the MCW-100 swing door operator, supplied from R15 900 excluding VAT, as published on our sister company Coetz.
The finished price depends on the leaves, glass, header, sensors, locking and access control, all quoted per site. See our automatic door prices guide and sliding vs swing door guide.
Every entrance also gets a defined power-failure behaviour, agreed with the building and its fire strategy; see automatic doors and load shedding.
